One of my favorite places🤍 The whole Bay of Kotor is so breathtaking and definitely worth a visit. I've been there twice, once in January for two weeks and then in July for a couple of days. I always felt safe even walking alone after dark (safer than in Finland which is a lot to say). I was one of the only turists in January which made it more special in my opinion, though swimming in these landspaces in July was a magical experience. It didn't get overgrowded even in July, smaller towns remained quiet. Best time to visit in my opinion would probably be late spring / fall. There is a lot to do, you can wonder around almost any town/village around the bay and they all have really beautiful architecture and amazing views of the sea & mountains. There are also a lot of hikes and boat trips you can take. If you stay longer you can also take the bus to Croatia or Bosnia and Herzegovina. They also have pretty good bus connections around the bay, so you don't need to rent a car if you don't want to. I used the busses and it was easy to get around. Not everyone speaks english but everyone is kind and tries their best to communicate. (Men might randomly try to flirt but they are not pushy). Overall the people are very respectful and welcoming. Prices are affordable. Boats trips were around 5-15€. I mostly ate at local grills where meals cost around 5-7€. In restaurants they are 10-15€. (Food overall is great and similar to other countries in the balkans like Croatia) I honestly can't think of anything negative and would definitely recommend to everyone who has a change to visit!
Posted: September 4, 2025I sadly dont have any pictures but it was beautiful. Most of the city is inside of a medieval walls and they had a carmeval right when I was there. Really beautiful. Good food. Amazing view. Beautiful in general.
Posted: April 26, 2025Experienced: July, 2023Kotor absolutely exceeded my expectations. Compared to other European cities, it is relatively cheap, beautiful, and I felt safe there all the time.
Posted: August 9, 2023I spent five days in the old town of Kotor and felt like in a fairy tale. I absolutely loved it and would like to go back there. There was something so relaxing about just walking around the small town, eating in different restaurants and browsing shops, then resting, then going out on a boat or walking along the bay.
